FARMING! Agriculture is our main source of revenue! During the Bronze age, our society sky rocketed. We had a lot of iron, and bronze, which gave us a great advantage in the trading world, which passes directly through our crescent-shaped land. We are militarily advanced compared with surrounding societies, for our swords are made of iron! Also, we are among the first to produce cavalry, heavily armed horses with knights that rest on top. This gave us a great advantage against the raiders, and any attackers that wish to take our resources, or worse, our people for slaves. Our Fertile Crescent has an awesome climate that helps the evolution of many plants, which produce more seeds that are eddible than perennial plants, and our region's diversity of elevation gave a new beginning to many species of edible plants for new experiments in cultivation. Most importantly, our Fertile Crescent possesses the wild descendents of the eight Neolithic founder crops, important in our new ways of agriculture.

This key step in the development of us was possible because of an increased food supply and a dramatic rise in population and allowed our nomads and cave dwellers to become farmers and herders, which helped us reproduce and able to actually support our families. We then moved down the mountains to the grassy uplands and plains plentiful of water of northern Mesopotamia. By 6000 BC our primitive villages stretched all the way from Assyria along a fertile area of beautiful land just below the Armenian hills to the Euphrates River and more! The priests who controlled our temples were the aristocracy and our gernerals, or war leaders, became our kings. We , thus, created a simple form of writing called cuneiform, developed from the requirements of controlling the temples, So we could collect the taxes and tributes to the gods, which deeply represent our culture!
We are based on kings, or pharoh. We also support mesopotamian mythology, the astral theology of the Babylonian-Assyrian religion.
